    Default Broken jury strut attachment @ wing

    I always wipe leading edges down after flight found this after this mornings flight.Anybody else have this problem. No sign of fatigue or bending appears to have just stapped. Have the new HD attachment at strut I guess this is the new weak link.Doesnt even appear to have been cracked as it looks clean at break. I guess alot can be said for wiping your plane down every time.

    Yikes, how many airframe hours? It looks like a stress fracture that started at the rear and propogated forward, not an over design load.
